It’s barely the New Year but I’m already weary of snow and cold so there’s a change of pace this morning provided by a Short-eared Owl, flowers and the color green.
Changes in light in a very short time can have a dramatic effect on our images. The phenomenon tends to be well understood by landscape photographers but it can have a similar impact in wildlife photography.
Photographing Short-eared Owls in flight with naturally obtained (not baited) prey in a wild setting is near the pinnacle of my bird photography aspirations. Thankfully I’ve had that opportunity several times and I’ll be forever grateful.
